Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Chapter 147 His eyes held no desire for the opposite sex, only the pursuit of cultivation.

Gu Yuena paused slightly.

She raised her head, her beautiful eyes calmly looking at Long Chen. Her delicate face still wore that aloof expression, as if stating a fact that had nothing to do with her.

"I tried."

"what?"

"real or fake?"

"And the result? How did it go?"

Instantly, Long Chen, Xu Xiaoyan, and Xie Xie beside them all lit up with their eyes, their faces beaming with anticipation. They leaned forward, staring intently at Gu Yuena, as if waiting for a shocking secret to be revealed.

Gu Yuena met their burning, gossipy gazes without changing her expression, and simply said:
"He rejected me, saying that he wanted to focus on cultivation and that we should go somewhere else to relax, so we let it go."

These words stunned Long Chen and the other two, their jaws nearly dropping to the ground.

"Rejected...rejected?" Long Chen's eyes widened, his voice trembling as if he had heard something unbelievable. "Even...even Sister Gu Yue...was rejected?!"

Xie Xie also looked incredulous, rubbing his eyes hard as if trying to confirm if he was dreaming, before finally letting out a long sigh:

"Now I understand completely. It seems that Brother Lu's eyes and heart can no longer hold anything other than cultivation."

"Romantic moments under the moon and flowers, tender feelings between men and women, are all fleeting to him."

"His eyes held no desire for the opposite sex, only a burning desire for cultivation."

"Pfft." Long Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud, shaking his head and complaining, "I think Brother Lu's state can no longer be described as a cultivation maniac. It's more like he's unilaterally activated a human-machine mode. Apart from the core command of becoming stronger, he blocks all other signals and receives them poorly."

Xu Xiaoyan was also amused, giggling nonstop, followed by a hint of smugness and relief:
"Even someone like Senior Gu Yuena was rejected so decisively, so the last bit of resentment I felt has completely vanished. It seems it's not my problem, it's Lu Jun's... well, his level is too high. I really can't imagine any girl in this world being able to enter his iceberg fortress."

She cupped her face in her hands, her eyes shining brightly:
"But this is good too. Teacher Wu is the adult version of the ice-cold male god, and Lu Jun is the ice-cold male god of the same age. Having two top male gods of different types to admire and pursue is enough to make me satisfied!"

Long Chen and Xie Xie exchanged a glance, then looked at Xu Xiaoyan, who looked as satisfied as if she had successfully met her idol, and Gu Yuena, who seemed to have said nothing at all, and shrugged helplessly.

Well, Lu Jun's world is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like them for the time being.

Let's pack our things and prepare for the next round of loving encouragement from the dance teacher.

……

After Xie Xie and Long Chen left the combat training ground together,

The two looked at each other.

"Long Chen, we can't keep going on like this!" Xie Xie clenched his fist, his eyes burning with fighting spirit. "Brother Lu is our role model, and we must strive to improve ourselves."

"That's right, let's catch up with Brother Lu and get moving!" Long Chen nodded vigorously, as if he had been injected with adrenaline. "Let's go back to the dorm to train. From today onwards, the dorm will be our training ground!"

The two reached an agreement and, full of enthusiasm, jogged towards the boys' dormitory.

Not far ahead, they spotted Lu Jun's familiar, tall, and slightly aloof figure.

"Brother Lu!"

Long Chen waved excitedly, about to shout out.

Just then, a blond figure burst out from the side like a whirlwind, his target Lu Jun.

"Mr. Lu!!"

The newcomer was none other than Le Zhengyu. His eyes were shining, and his face was filled with indescribable joy and excitement; his eyes even seemed to sparkle. Under the dumbfounded gazes of Xie Xie and Long Chen, Le Zhengyu sprinted to Lu Jun at top speed, opened his arms, and without saying a word, gave Lu Jun a solid, enthusiastic bear hug.

"Hahahaha, Lu Jun, I love you to death!!!" Le Zhengyu's excited voice echoed throughout the venue as he patted Lu Jun's back forcefully.

"???"

Caught off guard, Lu Jun was suddenly embraced tightly, leaving him completely stunned and instinctively struggling.

"Senior Yue, what are you doing? Is it really necessary to shout like that?"

"Hahaha, Lu Jun, putting everything else aside, I love you to death, I really love you to death!"

Completely immersed in immense joy and gratitude, Le Zhengyu paid no attention to Lu Jun's reaction. Instead, he gripped Lu Jun's shoulder even tighter and half-dragged, half-carried him forward.

"Come on, let's go to your dorm. I have so much to tell you."

Lu Jun was being held so tightly by him that he could hardly breathe. He was helplessly being dragged along by this overly enthusiastic senior towards the dormitory building.

Only Xie Xie and Long Chen remained, completely petrified.

The wind blew through the empty corridor, swirling up a few fallen leaves.

Xie Xie's eyes widened, and his mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg.

Long Chen's expression froze on his face, as if he had been struck by an invisible petrifying ray.

The two remained motionless, like two statues, their eyes mechanically and slowly turning towards each other.

The instant their eyes met, it was as if with a snap, something called worldview collapsed in their hearts.

"What...what just happened?" Xie Xie's voice was dry, like sandpaper rubbing.

"Xie Xie." Long Chen's voice was extremely dry and trembling. "You...you saw it too? That senior, he...he hugged Brother Lu and said, said he loved him to death?"

"I saw it," Xie Xie said, his voice barely audible through clenched teeth. "And it seems like Brother Lu didn't resist much?"

"Gudong!"

The two swallowed simultaneously, stared at each other for a full three seconds, and then exclaimed in unison, as if they had discovered the ultimate secret of the universe:

"Holy crap, so the reason Brother Lu rejected all the girls... was because... he's gay?"

This earth-shattering discovery was like a nuclear explosion, instantly blasting them to smithereens.

The amount of information was too much, and the impact was too strong.

"If you don't agree, then Sister Gu Yue..."

The two have been together for more than half a year and have developed an excellent understanding of each other, being each other's best friends.

Without saying a word, he immediately turned around and ran towards the girls' dormitory building at an even faster speed than when he sprinted back to the dormitory.

Downstairs in the girls' dormitory, Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yuena were just about to go upstairs when they saw Long Chen and Xie Xie running back as if they were being chased by a ghost.

His face wore a distorted expression that was a mixture of terror, excitement, and disbelief.

"No...no good! Shocking news! Brother Lu...he..." Xie Xie gasped for breath, unable to speak coherently.
